UGC10214, The Tadpole Galaxy in Draco

(Click on image for full size version)

Description:

Also known as Arp188, the tadpole galaxy is a
small, faint but uniquely-shaped galaxy. Whatever disturbed this
galaxy left it streaming stars in a long tail to the east. The Tadpole
was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope and the fully detailed image in all
of its glory may be seen
here. This
was an attempt to see what could be done by a small, ground-based telescope
in a suburban setting without guiding.
